The poet George Crabbe (1754-1832), best known as the author of 'Peter Grimes' and 'The Village', was also a surgeon, a clergyman, a botanist and a novelist. Neil Powell provides this revealing portrait of a uniquely gifted poet - a man of low-key and unsentimental vision who lived a quintessentially English life.
